lol it is not healthy to hold your piss. No they won't make you hold it. You may a time or two but everyone does that everyday at some point. When you ask you would say "Drill Sergeant permission to utilize the latrine?" Most of the time at Benning they will say the woodline is your latrine unless there is female cadre there which happened only 1 time during my stay on Sandhill.

I went in june of 08' before I got discharged for jacking my knee up it wasnt bad at all. Alpha company in reception is the most relaxed as far as relaxed can go at Ft. Benning. Good luck to yall that are going and remember these things.
1.DONT sleep unless its lights out
2.Drink plenty of water even if your not thiristy youll soon find yourself the victim of a heat related injury
3.Dont call the DS sir they hate it with a passion
4.Make your phone calls count. Our company never got very many. And bring a phone card because its harder then you think to obtain one there.
5.Write home as much as you can.It helps you vent the crap day you just had, and helps you cope with being away from home and in a new place.
